BCCI CEO Rahul Johri alleges treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary threatens to kill him by giving cyanide

In the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI), there has been news about hoaxes fuming among top officials. BCCI Chief Executive Officer Rahul Johri has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court, alleging bribe charges against treasurer Anirudh Chaudhary. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Board, Santosh Rangnekar, has also said that he is afraid of getting killed so he has also filed an affidavit against treasurer Chaudhary. Both the top officials have said that they are frightened due to this act of treasurer Anirudh.

The manner in which two top officials have approached the apex court, it shows what kind of atmosphere is inside the Indian cricket board. Due to power, money and politics, all efforts are being made to stop the recommendations made by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, treasurer Anirudh Choudhary has termed the charges against him as baseless. Chaudhary says that the matter is in the court; in this case, he will answer only in the court. “The matter is now in court and if I am asked to, we will file a reply,” he said.

Johri narrates how Chaudhry had told Rangnekar that “he was planning to file an FIR against the CFO and CEO for misappropriating BCCI’s funds by making payments to vendors from the imprest account maintained by BCCI with Union Bank, Nariman Point branch.”

The affidavit adds that “the treasurer had told the CFO that even if the FIR ultimately turned out to be false or was rejected by the court, the CFO’s life for the next two years would be totally finished by that time.” Chaudhry clarified that he had never filed such an FIR.
